Abstract
Student teaching, the culmination of the Kalamazoo College
teacher preparation program, is its most valuable component.
utilized all of the knowledge gained in my education classes and
other experiences, such as teaching environmental education for my
Career Development quarter, and applied it to practical situations in
the classroom. While practical experience involved daily challenges,
it was ultimately very rewarding as I observed and hopefully
contributed to students' academic and personal growth. The student
teaching experience forced me to grow as an individual and to evolve
as a teacher through consideration of situations from this new point
of view in the classroom.
Description
My student teaching experience took place at Pioneer High
School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This high school contains
approximately two thousand students in grades nine through twelve.
Principal Dr. Donald Jones is supported by numerous other
administrators including class principals, assistant principals and
class secretaries. There are seven counselors serving the racially,
ethnically and socio-economically diverse student body. A school
psychologist and police officer also supplement the administrative
body. The teaching staff is, on the whole, very experienced; the
majority have a Masters Degree in education or in the content area.
